The first reason why many families do volunteer work is that they feel satisfied and proud. The feeling of fulfillment comes from helping the community and other people. In addition, volunteering is a great way for families to have fun and feel closer. But many people say they don't have time to volunteer because they have to work and take care of their families. If that's the case, try rethinking some of your free time as a family. You can select just one or two projects a year and make them a family tradition. For instance, your family can make and donate gift baskets for the old homeless people on holidays. Your family can also spend only one Saturday morning a month collecting rubbish in your neighbourhood.

Vietnamese water puppetry is a unique folk art. It's said that "Not watching a performance of water puppetry means not visiting Vietnam yet.'

During the shows, you can only see the puppets and a small folk orchestra of about 7 people, the puppeteers stand behind a curtained backdrop in a pool. All puppets are made of fig wood which goes along well with water. Then they are carved and painted. The themes of the shows are very familiar to Vietnamese people. They focus on the daily life of farmers and common aspects of Vietnamese spiritual life.

Vietnamese water puppetry has been introduced to many countries all over the world and received much love from audiences.
